Long Time

The construction of Educational Recommender System (ERS) demands the incorporation of quality attributes at the software design, such as availability for preventing the service to be unavailable for a long time, and scalability for preventing the system from going offline due to a large number of simultaneous requests. The incorporation of such characteristics makes ERS more complex and expensive, but existing strategies for designing ERS do not consider quality attributes in an explicit way. This chapter presents an architecture-centered solution, which is partially supported by tools and considers quality attributes as early as possible in the software development process in a systematic way, from requirements to the source code. The feasibility of the proposed process is showed in terms of a case study executed in a “step-by-step” fashion, presenting how the software architecture can be designed and gradually refined until it achieves the level of object-oriented classes generated based on design patterns.

Global software development exposes projects to the challenges arising from geo-cultural spread of the team and delegation of project ownership. Therefore, risk management in global software development receives attention from many researchers today. The primary focus in this paper is an investigation of risks associated with the maintenance of information systems by teams distributed across geographical locations, cultures, and vendors. Here the authors present the case study of a large offshore outsourced program that maintained a portfolio of business applications for a fortune 500 US client. The program exhibited a wide variety of characteristics typical of maintenance projects. The study investigated the risks, risk resolution techniques, lessons learned and best practices adopted in the program, from a vendor perspective. The findings provide useful insights into understanding and responding to the challenges in initiating, transitioning and managing global software maintenance projects.

Abstrak. Belajar dari Studi Kasus, Bagaimana Proses Pengembangan Perangkat Lunak Global Dieksekusi Pada Lingkungan Metode Agile. Tantangan terbesar dalam Software Development Global (GSD) adalah efisiensi waktu untuk mengembangkan. GSD menyediakan panduan untuk menggunakan proses bersama dengan muka seperti proses metode analisis terpadu atau metode air terjun. Meskipun, itu memberikan manfaat melalui dokumentasi yang komprehensif dan kejelasan, ia memberikan menghambat organisasi yang ingin menggunakan GSD tetapi dalam terburu-buru. Metode Agile mengklaim efisien dan pendekatan yang efektif untuk pengembangan perangkat lunak. Makalah ini laporan tentang bagaimana organisasi menggabungkan proses GSD dengan metode tangkas seperti eXtreme Programming (XP), Scrum, Agile Unified Process (UP Agile), Pengembangan Fitur Driven (FDD), dan Microsoft Solusi Kerangka Agile (MSF Agile). Makalah ini menggunakan studi kasus untuk mendapatkan pengalaman organisasi dan menjelaskan praktek yang berguna untuk organisasi yang ingin menerapkan GSD dengan metode tangkas. Kata Kunci: Siklus Hidup Pengembangan Perangkat Lunak, Agile, GSD Abstract. The biggest challenge in Global Software Development (GSD) is the efficiency of time to develop. GSD provides a guidance to use the process along with up-front analysis method like unified process or waterfall method. Although, it gives a benefit through comprehensive documentation and its clearness, it gives inhibits the organization which wants use GSD but in a rush. Agile methods claim an efficient and the effective approach to software development. This paper reports on how organizations combine the GSD process with agile methods like eXtreme Programming (XP), Scrum, Agile Unified Process (Agile UP), Feature Driven Development (FDD), and Microsoft Solution Framework Agile (MSF Agile). The paper uses case study to get organization experiences and describe useful practices for the organization that want to implement GSD with an agile method. Keywords: Software Development Lifecycle, Agile, GSD
